Cody belongs to Valentine, a 24-year-old who was diagnosed with chronic fatigue in her teens and later with connective tissue disorder.

She was told to quit her job because of her diagnoses and found herself lonely and bored at home.

This year, Valentine acquired Cody from a man who couldn't properly care for him and a beautiful friendship was born.

While raccoons are not meant to be kept as pets, Cody received special permission from government officials after Valentine wrote a moving letter to her local representative.

“Without him I would probably never leave the house, so he has been a huge confidence boost," Valentine said.
